About 4 million children with an oncological disease worldwide require pediatric palliative care (PPC) due to the nature of their condition. PPC is not limited to end-of-life care; it is a general approach continuing over the entire disease trajectory, regardless of whether the patient receives any oncological treatment. This review addresses the value of integrating PPC in treating children with cancer, focusing on the basic principles of PPC and its application in pediatric oncology. Moreover, models for PPC implementation in oncology, end-of-life care, and advanced care planning are discussed.
全球约有400万患有肿瘤疾病的儿童因其病情性质需要儿科姑息治疗(PPC)。PPC不限于临终关怀;它是一种贯穿整个疾病轨迹的通用方法,无论患者是否接受任何肿瘤治疗。本综述探讨了将PPC整合到儿童癌症治疗中的价值,重点关注PPC的基本原则及其在儿科肿瘤学中的应用。此外,还讨论了肿瘤学、临终关怀和高级护理计划中PPC实施的模式。
